"Collecting and preserving the heritage and history of Fentress County, TN since 1968"

Genealogy

The Fentress County Historical Society was organized for the purpose of collecting, organizing, preserving, publishing and disseminating all kinds of historical and genealogical information that tells the story of the geographical, historical, cultural, social, religious and political heritage of Fentress County and the surrounding Upper Cumberland Plateau.

The Society promotes genealogical research by publishing books, articles, essays, census records, birth, death and marriage records, cemetery records and other compilations helpful to others in knowing, recording, or compiling their own family histories.

The Society encourages researchers to explore some of the many internet resources currently available. We have listed a few of these under our LINKS panel on the Home Page. One internet resource of note is BRUCE E. YORK’s FENTRESS COUNTY database of names of persons who have lived in, passed through or are related to families in Fentress County.
